Total spectrum dominance

We are lied to 24/7, with every image seen on TV, even supposed candid ones, either being staged or reviewed before airing. Television is a social control medium used to hypnotize that vast majority of Americans. But some of us have escaped, and are more awake than those around us.

If you want to get away from censorship, there are many avenues. For instance, there is alternative media. You could go to Alex Jones and his Prison Planet. Alex, who was once Bill Hicks, will tantalize you with lies of a different type, but lies nonetheless, designed to satisfy your curiosity. Conspiracy thinkers tend to be smarter people who notice more detail and think critically. Alex knows this. He very carefully satisfies our yearning to know what is true by plying us with lies of a more intuitive type. Alex is a gatekeeper.

Or, you can get the inside scoop on the Internet from SNOPES. It is designed to catch you when in doubt and set you straight. It prevents you from committing thought crime. If you don’t believe jet aircraft can fly though buildings like knife though butter, for instance, SNOPES will reassure you that indeed they can, and tell you why in detail. It’s is a CIA front.

There is always Wikipedia. It is the go-to source, our modern day Encyclopedia Brittanica. It’s riddled with back door spooks, and craftily constructed so that Intelligence agents can glean real information from it while the rest of us need hip waders to maneuver in the bullshit. It’s a CIA front.

Or you can swill in right wing punditry over at FOX. Bill O’Reilly, like Amy Goodman, is a Zombie, planted there to catch you unaware. The whole of the FOX operation is designed to keep low information people in that state, while at the same time helping them imagine they are well informed.

FOX News content is identical to NPR and PBS but in a different package, the latter designed to reinforce your unstated supposition that you are intellectually superior to those around you. NPR and PBS feed you that cat food, opening up a fresh can every day.

Or, you can go the left wing route. Amy Goodman, a Zombie, is waiting to greet you, and lead you a little further into the rabbit hole, but only a little. She’s a gatekeeper too, just like Jones and O’Reilly. If there is really important truth to unearth, she’ll take you there, almost. Not quite.

Talk radio? It’s an agitated medium, and used mostly to keep you angry and upset. Anger clouds the brain and prevents rational thought processes. Don’t like Rush? There’s Thom Hartmann, a Zombie, is waiting to greet you “on the left,” performing the gatekeeping function. (Thom actually hates liberals and progressives. Say what you will about him, he works hard, as does Goodman. I would not want their jobs, living and breathing as they do with people they loathe.  It sucks to be them, but face it, Janis was skating on thin ice as a blues singer, and Brandon DeWilde (Hartmann) was on his way to daytime soaps as an actor.)

The Internet? The Blogs? Reddit and Quora and all the discussions sites?  If you put something true up at those sites, an automated mechanism appears to be in place to vote you out of sight. Those sites are riddled with spooks and trolls, some paid, most just late night voyeurs shooting from the bushes, guerilla snipers. They’ll leave you fifty shades of confused. Some of these snipers are very mean, others very stupid. None are worth our time.

The answer? Turn off your TV, turn on your brain. Vigilant citizenship is work! It requires thinking. We stumble, make mistakes, keep pushing and burrowing, as learning requires mistakes on the way.

Mistakes should not scare you. If you place trust in someone not worthy of it, it is easily reversed. Further, not knowing the answers is a lovely state of mind. Searching for them is the stuff of real intelligent discontent.

This blog, unlike others, has made real discoveries, come upon new insights, and has done something really odd: it has both searched for and found some truth. I beg you try to find another like it. (If you do, tell me. I will link to it.)

We have only just begun.

PS: I forgot the most important left-wing gatekeeper of all, put there to satisfy those of us of higher-than average capacity for processing large volumes of information, Noam Chomsky. He’s advanced in age now, not putting out books like he used to, but I would bet that if you emailed him (his address can be found online but it would be rude to publish it) you would get an answer within hours. I have done this. He used to spend maybe six hours a day on email, indicating that he doesn’t really have a full-time MIT job, just an office. And that makes sense, as MIT is just an adjunct campus for DOD.

John Galt exited, and the world shrugged

This is an embarrassing incident that happened in 2006: My wife and I went to see the remastered version of Monty Python and the Holy Grail at a local theater, I want it say in Bozeman, but the memory feels more like Billings, Montana. There were five people in the theater that night. We sat in the back, and several rows in front of us were three who, as the movie went along, were able to recite every line.

The embarrassment is that we went to see a movie whose time had long passed, the importance and humor of which was exaggerated in my mind.

I imagine that others had a similar experience as the movie Atlas Shrugged played to immense empty houses in 2011.

Which reminds me: A certain man I know, let’s call him Bob Bilby, made a profound life choice in 2007. Bob is an engineer, and helped design and build bridges and tunnels. Fed up with what he called “leeches and bums” feeding off of his enormous wealth output, Bob decided to “go Galt,” and retire to a cabin in the mountains at an undisclosed location.

He began to notice something from his cabin retreat – bridges and tunnels were still being built and widely used. And … no one was looking for him.

In 2009, Bob Bilby quietly rejoined society, and now authors a blog.

I make fun of Rand and Randians. A post from years ago, “Was Ayn Rand a Sociopath?,” still draws readers and comments. But I am familiar with a certain element within our ranks – people who live off of the output of others. They are called “children,” “disabled,” “students,” and to a smaller degree, trust babies and lazy bums.

Our output is enormous, large enough to support all of them, so we do not have a problem with stretched resources. Distribution of those resources is a problem, as by luck and happenstance a large percentage of our wealth ends up in a few hands.

Those who enjoy good fortune and are able to amass a fortune often imagine that luck and happenstance had nothing to do with it. They imagine themselves not just more talented, but immensely so, and not lucky, but rather entitled.

Sometimes they go Bob Bilby on us. I imagine once retired to their cabin in the woods, they begin to grow in depth and humanity, and become the anti-Rand versions of themselves, humbler, more welcoming and accepting of people as we are. They begin to realize that we’re all part of one being, all in various stages of development, many in need of a reboot.

Then they start their own blogs.

Beauty queens and quarterbacks

Figure Skating In Harlem's 2010 Skating With The Stars Benefit Gala

We got an ice storm late yesterday and I was curious about road conditions. I turned on the TV – here in Denver there are usually three or four local news shows going at once.  What caught my eye was the sight of a beautiful young woman standing in a green screen shot of I70 up by Vail, a sheet of ice. She referred to herself as a “meteorologist.”

I had to laugh. I did not know that the University of Phoenix even offered that degree.

I used to watch a TV show called “House” because I thought the lead character, a complete Asperger’s manifesto named Dr. Gregory House, was interesting. But I had to quit the show because it insulted my intelligence. Every “doctor” was gorgeous and had near genius IQ. Just like the old TV show ER, where one of the lead characters was played by the gorgeous gay actor George Clooney … it was the realm of fantasy.

It does not work that way. Go to your local clinic or any hospital and check out the people. They are like people everywhere, mostly ordinary, aging, fighting bulges and losing hair. Only occasionally is there one of exceptional good looks, usually occupying a low-demand slot like receptionist. And chewing gum.

There is a reason for that. Most good looking people find they do not have to work as hard as regular people to succeed, and so don’t. They do not gravitate to professions like doctor and nurse, scientist or engineer because those fields require extreme effort and intelligence for success. High school cheerleaders and star quarterbacks already know at a young age that doors will open for them without much effort.

So it is no surprise that good looking people end up in acting, or as pharmaceutical sales reps, real estate agents, or as news readers and “meteorologists” on TV. Or, they marry successful people, become arm candy and social managers. It goes both ways, but predominately (and throughout recorded history) it is the beautiful woman who is married to the successful man of ordinary appearance. (Right, Melania?)

So remember, if you are one who uses television news to define your reality, that the people who read that news to you got there not because they are smart or insightful, but rather because they are good looking. They will read anything they are told to read, and are even dumb enough to believe what they read.

Are you?

Fake Rodeos

Ah, so discouraging to watch as we endure yet another election contest, as if … after November, nothing will change. Nothing. Party politics has no effect on public policy, foreign or domestic. Those policies set to be implemented in the coming months will happen as if no election happened at all. There will be faux legislative battles, random court decisions, more manipulation of behaviors via fake terrorism, but mostly our governance is by edict and without reference to public opinion in any form.

What effect activists might have, those who take public officials and corporations to court, is minor, and about all we have left. But what else is there to do but act locally? If they could, our leaders would dispense with elections entirely, but they are apparently seen as necessary to foster the illusion of self-governance.  Continue reading “Fake Rodeos” →

This time it is for real

imageI encountered the above photo and quote on Facebook, where else? As I scroll down the entries there, I think man, never an original thought. It is all boilerplate cut and paste. That’s Facebook. We’re not exchanging ideas. We’re reading billboards.

Anyway, I commented on the above

“Pretty cool, especially since Teddy was a JP Morgan man.”

My comment got no likes!!!

Just so you know, Teddy Roosevelt, the “Trust Buster,” was controlled opposition, a man put in place to make sure certain interests advanced while others did not, and for whom historians have reconstructed reality. They have made him a man who acted independently of influence.

As a Morgan man, TR was charged with assuring the election of another Morgan man, and so in 1912 ran a third party campaign as a Progressive, the Bull Moose Party, to assure enough votes taken away from William Howard Taft to elect Woodrow Wilson.

Wilson then gave us the Federal Reserve, the income tax, World War I. The Morgan agenda. All of that was thanks to TR, the Trust Buster, who, incidentally, forgot to bust the Morgan trust.

Politicians are puppets on strings. All of them! Ever was it thus.

imageIn the comment string below the TR image I found this, however: Bernie Sanders.  He is running an independent campaign for president, is is under the influence of no one in particular. He just up and decided to run one day. He is no puppet, there are no strings. This time it is for real.

lucy-footballAnd that has nothing to to, nothing, with this other image that constantly comes to mind as I watch the Bernie campaign suck so many people in.

Honestly, I find it so hard to sit here and watch, as if politics were real, candidates were genuine, and there were no puppet masters.

People please, grow up.

Zika: 4,180 becomes 270 becomes 6

If you’re following the news, public health officials are manufacturing a scare around the so-called “Zika” virus. We were initially told of an outbreak in Brazil in which it was discovered that there were 4,180 cases of microcephaly, or babies born with small heads. This sort of symptom is usually the result of an “insult” to the fetus during development, and can be cause be a host of factors environmental and physical.

Later, Brazilian officials reviewed their records and reduced the number of real cases of microcephaly from 4,180 to 270. And then there was this, reported by AP:

“Brazilian officials said the babies with the defect [microcephaly/small heads, brain damage] and their mothers are being tested to see if they had been infected. Six of the 270 confirmed microcephaly cases were found to have the [Zika] virus.”

That is not enough to indicate cause and effect. In the US every year we have 25,000 cases of microcephaly, none related to Zika.

What’s up? Why the hoax? Why the scare? I cannot begin to know but can guess that it comes down to two things: spreading fear, and siphoning resources into pharmaceutical corporations. After all, they need to develop a vaccine now.

Here’s a Huffington Post article advancing the scare and panic line.

Here’s a Jon Rappoport piece trying to set the record straight.

D.M. Murdick, R.I.P. (??? – 12/25/2015)

Acharya-SI knew this was coming, but it hit me hard nonetheless – Dorothy M. Murdock, aka D.M. Murdock, aka Acharya S (teacher) died. The email announcing her death was dated January 22nd, but says she died on December 25th of last year. That is unlikely. I do not know her age, but would guess her to be early 50’s.

Looking about for her biography, I find that she came on the scene in 1995, when she started her website Truth Be Known. I have found no date of birth and no parentage, but find she was educated in some of our best schools, meaning she came from money or was very lucky to have scholarships, fellowships or patrons.

Full spectrum dominance

My readings lately have taken me back to the immediate postwar era, when CIA was just underway and one of its first goals was to train and contain the American intellectual class. It wasn’t hard – intellectuals are normally driven by an aversion or ordinary people, and are easily bought with money and a taste of power.

The task at hand was censorship, but done in such a way that it would not be called that. It was shaking hands with the velvet glove.

A primer on environmental lawsuits

Years ago I was granted an interview with a prominent Republican state senator in Montana for my little public access TV show. I won’t mention his name because I was surprised at his lack of depth. I expected a clever and perhaps even thoughtful man, and instead was confronted with a non-thinking reactionary.

One of his attitudes that surprised me was a belief that environmentalists conspire and plan lawsuits for the sole purpose of thwarting logging sales.  The objective, in his mind, was merely to be obstructionist. He viewed them as a scheming group of malcontents with nothing better to do than throw lawsuits at the wall, hoping some might stick.

I ran into this attitude again yesterday in the comments at another website where Big Swede offered the following in response to a satiric piece on the attitudes of Montana’s congressional delegation, Zinke, Tester and Daines, towards the timber industry and Wall Street*:

In related news Senator Tester introduced legislation for environment groups to post bonds when protesting timber sales over environment concerns. [/satire]

Anyone with understanding of the court system knows that frivolous activities are not tolerated, are in fact punished. Anyone familiar with environmental groups knows that they lack the one thing that their opponents have in glorious abundance: Cash.

Consequently, environmentalists have to be selective in challenging industry, limiting their efforts to low-hanging fruit. That would be cases where laws are flagrantly violated by the agencies and timber companies. They often win in those cases, which the logging companies and captive agencies find infuriating.

The industry response has been predictable: To use their sock puppets in congress to pass laws that bypass citizen challenges in the courts, and to use public relations to demonize environmentalists in the public mind.

There is great comfort in lies

I’ve been listening to a podcast off and on from the School Sucks Project about conspiracy theories. Parts of it do not set well with me. For instance, one speaker claims that those of us who have an alternative (and more realistic) view of the world, but are unable to communicate it with others, ought to give it up and merely join the “real” world.

After all, what is the point of knowing things but being unable to communicate them? Cassandra had the ability to foresee the future, but was cursed by Apollo so that no one would ever believe her. My group has the ability to see the past clearly, but we are unable to communicate it to the general public.

I find joining the “real” world untenable because the fault does not lie with me. We live in a highly effective totalitarian society under strict thought control. The ability to break free of thought control  is a rare trait, and a remarkable achievement. To simply set that achievement aside and succumb is as desolate and depressing as the end of Orwell’s 1984. Truth is worthy in its own right. I cannot help those who cannot or will not look for it.

Another part of the podcast is a thought experiment. Assume you were handed a suitcase, and with it an ironclad guarantee that inside were documents that spelled out the truth of JFK, moon landings, 9/11, Boston and untold other events that were contrived.

What would you do?

I would open it up and dive in. I love that sort of thing. But the speakers in the podcast assert that most people would not only not open the suitcase, but would destroy it. There is great comfort in lies.
